A LIFE OF INTEGRITY

Years ago, Pastor Bob Moorehead wrote a declaration of his faith. Here is a portion of it:

“I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed . . . I am a disciple of Jesus Christ . . . My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure . . . I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity . . . I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won’t give up, shut up, let up, or slow up until I’ve preached up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ. I’m a disciple of Jesus. And I must go ‘til He comes, give ‘til I drop, and preach ‘til all know. And when Jesus comes to get His own, He’ll have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear because I’m a disciple of Jesus Christ.”

-from “A Life of Integrity”

So, how about you? Do you feel the call by God to be a faithful disciple of Jesus? A disciple is what the church is made of according to Matthew 28. Disciples are called to:

Pray daily and often,

worship weekly,

read their Bible daily,

be willing to serve others,

live among spiritual Christian friends, and

give willingly and joyfully.

Thank goodness God calls us to discipleship and not membership.

Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jon

MEN! Join the revolution and come with me to this year’s “Promise Keepers” local event at the Phillips Arena (Atlanta) on Friday evening, August 6th and Saturday, August 7th. There we will “worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs” (Psalm 100:2).
